This year, the Cold Chain & Temperature Summit introduces a take on the popular game show “Family Feud” in a discussion entitled “How Much Do You Know about Your Supply Chain and Quality Teams?” During this session, supply chain and quality professionals will be surveyed on each other’s roles, functions and responsibilities.

• Dr. Mary Mazur-Melnyk, Chief Scientific Officer, Innovalinks Quality Consultants

“The purpose of the questions is to underline the knowledge gaps that exist between the different teams. We hope that organizations will develop workable solutions to bridge these gaps as a result,” comments Courtney Becker-James, Conference Director of the Cold Chain & Temperature Management Summit.

Following this session, a panel discussion will concentrate on how to successfully integrate quality into everyday logistics operations.

The audience for this event includes senior management professionals from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, wholesale, pharmacy, packaging and logistics companies with responsibilities in QA/QC, global and domestic supply, distribution, transportation, packaging, warehouse management and regulatory affairs.
